Instructions

Add 3 mint leaves (stems removed) to the top of the ice and slowly pour each spirit over

Grab another tumbler and continuously pour between each tumbler - Back and Forth (I did it 8 times) - Half way in this process, add 1 bunch of mint leaves (2 sprigs with stems removed) and continue to toss between the two tumblers

Pour into Julep Tin, add a bit more crushed ice for the top of the glass and add a bouquet of Mint with sliced lemon

Recipe Notes

These were the instructions as laid out by the Imbibe book (written by David Wondrich). Obviously we have come up with simpler ways to get it done, but there's something about this classic serve that makes me want to stick with what the experts did back then. It's how they intended this to be drunk. So cheers to them!
